If they gave you codeine to take, consider not taking it. When I had my wisdom teeth out, the worst part was the constant nausea from the codeine. On the second day I quit taking it and things started getting better.

Whatever you do, get the cap as soon as you can. I got a root canal a few years ago, but did not have the money for a cap. Well, lo and behold, the root canal weakened and had to be redone. TWO ROOT CANALS IN THE SAME TOOTH. So not fun.

I bet you are glad your tooth is sorted out now.I went to the dentist last week just for a check up, luckily nothing was wrong.I don't really mind that much going to see the dentist, its just paying out the money afterwards that i hate.

Found you on Blogs of Note. Very Funny and brings back lots of memories. My children are about to head off to college and I miss the purity of their intelligince and logic back then. Thanks for sharing your moments with everyone!

Oh, boy, I'm with you on that "It's almost routine" bit. It's right up there with "Oops!" in either the dentist or the gynecologist's office. And why do they insist on playing food shows in the background? Like I'm feeling like I'm ever gonna want to eat again?

Reading the phrase "trip to flavor town" makes me feel like I have a head cavity mouth canal. Also: doctors who say "whoa" or can't control their eyebrows when they read x-rays and reports should be reported or smacked. Or something.

Having a root canal isn't that bad at all, since it will get rid of the pain, and if the operation wasn't done as soon as possible, it will hurt a lot. At my teenage years, I had my first root canal when I felt total pain whenever I drink cold food or liquid. It totally made my cry due to its intensity, with that, my mother brought me to the dentists (Hendersonville, TN-located clinic) to get me checked-up and treat me as soon as possible.

Few check-ups and x-rays later, I went on the operation. If I remembered correctly, it took me just an hour (or less) without any pain. After the whole ordeal, I am very thankful that my tooth isn't sensitive anymore, and days of rolling around in bed in pain was gone, and all thanks to the Hendersonville dentist.

I think that you've written in the most persuasive way to get me to brush my teeth. When I was in college, I had my wisdom teeth removed. That experience and yours have encouraged me to strive to never have the need for a root canal. http://signaturedentalwy.com/endodontics/

Root canal treatment is done when there is no chance of tooth to be saved, and the patient doesn’t want it to be extracted although decayed. It is done to kill the vitality of the tooth and then filling it with mechanical components, and placing a cap over it.I love this kind of post.dental implants cost uk

Implants can be made of titanium or zirconium. There are pros and cons to each. Traditional dentistry tends to favor titanium because of its longer track record and familiarity. It also has a very low percentage of patients being sensitive to it. In some cases, zirconium can darken the gums in esthetic areas. Also, some critics of titanium don’t like the idea of any metal in the mouth. If increased esthetics or non-metallic implants are your preference, zirconium implants may be your preferred option.
